Default Feather Dusters

Hi all,

I've been and got some feather dusters for my tank today and they all seem ok and their feathers have been out. However one of them appears to have come out of its tube and its green body is moving about. Is this normal?

I did some research. Some say they due that because of being unhappy with water flow or conditions, other say since they can come out to relocate if their unhappy..... Got Me????

Well just to give you an update the feather duster seems to have covered himself with sand and seems happy. Here is a pic of my other 2 feather dusters who also seem to be doing well under my new diy moonlight.
